Another Weight Bracket
Here's a weight bracket I made for my 1912. It'll hold 200 lbs. to offset my 451 snowblower (modified for a 4 1/2" PTO). I'll probably leave 100 lbs. on it for mowing as I noticed a little wheel spin when mowing with no weight using my 60" deck.
Made from 1/4" plate and a 1" x 8" grade-8 bolt. It's bolted to the frame through existing holes with four 3/8" and two 7/16" bolts.
Now if you have to go out and buy the weight plates new, this won't really save you any money over some generic 70 lb. wheel weights (about $1/lb.), but I use the same plates on a cat. 0 weight bar I made for my ingersoll 6018 loader tractor. Plus this way I don't have to scratch up my newly painted wheels and the leverage around the axle is an added benefit with the snowblower.
